A touch of purple…………….. A touch of black

A touch of purple…………….. A touch of black

A touch of Purple….A touch of Black 

Have you ever asked yourself what attacks you to a colour? Me, always and every time it;s a different answer! Now I always liked Purple.

Not any kind of purple….. a dark deep, velvety purple…. and a touch of black….. I love purple and been always attracted to agate and amethyst. Purple Agate is one stone that I use on the regular in my designs. It calm the wearer, it hold on to good energy and creates a wonderful save environment for the one who wears it.

A reminder that I love Lavender, that I love creativity, luxury and royalty a colour that is a great representative for peace, dignity and mystery as well as magic, this is purple to me. It also represents the Crown Chakra ( head Chakra) it shows your connection to the universe and spiritual part in you. It;s your connection to creativity

How does purple make you feel? It makes me feel great. It makes me smile and creative. But how does black make you feel like?Elegant, classic, minimalist  and timeless. This is how it makes me feel.

I also want to you check out the video below. Guo Pei a fantastic Haute Couture designer…. She is amazing. Almost all her designs remind me of Romanian Lace and this last collection was exceptional. The

Isn’t her style amazing? The inspiration of the dark ages architectural design is stunning. The structure is fantastic and is so detailed. We lace makers can easy get inspired and create stunning Romanian Point Lace.

Black Orchid 

Orchids are such a fabulous, flower, with ancient origins. The Greek word Orkhis ( male anatomy ) is the origin of the word orchid and it has been associated with fertility. The ancient Greeks believed that the root tubes of the orchid could determine the sex of the unborn baby.

The orchid is all over the world a symbol of beauty and elegance. It is also a symbol of love an exotic plant that found fame in Europe in the Victorian England.  In ancient China, the  orchid is a symbol of perfection and in Japan a symbol of wealth.

As beautiful as this flower is, it was inspiration for a headband. If you want to learn how to create a Romanian Point Lace orchid, check out the video on You tube!
